NAME
    Data::Deque::Shared - Shared-memory double-ended queue for Linux

SYNOPSIS
        use Data::Deque::Shared;

        my $dq = Data::Deque::Shared::Int->new(undef, 100);
        $dq->push_back(1);
        $dq->push_back(2);
        $dq->push_front(0);
        say $dq->pop_front;   # 0
        say $dq->pop_back;    # 2

        # String variant (fixed max_len per entry)
        my $sq = Data::Deque::Shared::Str->new(undef, 100, 64);
        $sq->push_back("hello");
        say $sq->pop_front;   # hello

        # blocking with timeout
        $dq->push_back_wait(42, 5.0);
        my $v = $dq->pop_front_wait(5.0);

        # file-backed / memfd
        $dq = Data::Deque::Shared::Int->new('/tmp/dq.shm', 100);
        $dq = Data::Deque::Shared::Int->new_memfd("my_dq", 100);
        my $fd = $dq->memfd;
        $dq = Data::Deque::Shared::Int->new_from_fd($fd);

DESCRIPTION
    Double-ended queue (deque) in shared memory. Ring buffer with CAS-based
    push/pop at both ends. Futex blocking when empty or full.

    Linux-only. Requires 64-bit Perl. Capacity must be <= 2^31.

    Used only as a FIFO ("push_back" + "pop_front"), it's effectively a
    fixed-slot lock-free string queue: 1.3x-4.7x faster than
    Data::Queue::Shared::Str under multi-producer contention, at the cost of
    per-slot fixed memory ("capacity × max_len").

  Concurrency
    Push and pop are safe under multi-producer / multi-consumer workloads.
    Each slot carries a 64-bit control word (state + generation) that acts
    as a publication gate: a pusher atomically transitions the slot through
    "empty → writing → filled", and a popper transitions it through "filled
    → reading → empty" with the generation bumped on completion. A consumer
    that claims position "n" via the head/tail CAS therefore always observes
    the publication transition of the corresponding push before reading the
    value.

    "drain" is safe under concurrent "push"/"pop", but it will spin-wait on
    any slot whose pusher is mid-publish; if that pusher has crashed between
    winning its position CAS and publishing the slot value, drain will block
    indefinitely on that slot. Use "drain" for orderly draining, not as a
    crash-recovery primitive.

  Compatibility
    File format bumped to v2 in this release (per-slot control array added
    for MPMC safety). Opening a v1 file (magic "DEQ1") created by
    Data::Deque::Shared "<= 0.02" will croak on header validation. Re-create
    the deque with the new version; anonymous and memfd-backed usage is
    unaffected.

METHODS
  Push / Pop
        $dq->push_back($val);          $dq->push_front($val);
        $dq->push_back_wait($val, $t); $dq->push_front_wait($val, $t);
        my $v = $dq->pop_front;        my $v = $dq->pop_back;
        my $v = $dq->pop_front_wait($t); my $v = $dq->pop_back_wait($t);

  Status
        $dq->size;  $dq->capacity;  $dq->is_empty;  $dq->is_full;
        $dq->clear;    # NOT concurrency-safe
        my $n = $dq->drain;  # concurrency-safe, returns count drained
        $dq->stats;    # {size, capacity, pushes, pops, waits, timeouts, mmap_size}

  Common
        $dq->path;  $dq->memfd;  $dq->sync;  $dq->unlink;

  eventfd
        $dq->eventfd;  $dq->notify;  $dq->eventfd_consume;
        $dq->eventfd_set($fd);  $dq->fileno;

STATS
    stats() returns: "size", "capacity", "pushes", "pops", "waits",
    "timeouts", "mmap_size".

SECURITY
    The mmap region is writable by all processes that open it. Do not share
    backing files with untrusted processes.

BENCHMARKS

        push_back + pop_front (FIFO)    6.5M/s
        push_back + pop_back (LIFO)     6.3M/s
        push_front + pop_front (LIFO)   6.4M/s
        push_front + pop_back (FIFO)    6.5M/s

    Multi-process (8 workers, 200K ops each):

        cap=16     5.7M/s aggregate
        cap=64     5.9M/s aggregate
        cap=256    5.8M/s aggregate
